Truth is the first casualty of war, so, first of all: I'm very wary of any article that claims, unambiguously, to know what the "truth" is, especially in such close temporal proximity. And let's face it, NATO/US has ALWAYS lied about war, no exceptions - especially alleged massacres. If info is coming from the US, my automatic reaction is: this is probably BS. Not that that makes the other side particularly trustworthy...
So let's revisit this in a few years. Until then, I appreciate the pluralism, and I'm especially skeptical of attempts to silence positions, be it be blocking or deleting them, or by yelling at them. Free discourse lives from hearing the other side. If all we ever get exposed to is info the US government deems "true", we can close the prison gates behind us.

Certainly doesn't mean they killed them, but it makes it really easy not to trust everything they say on what they "found" in Bucha.
